One Year Anniversary!

We were proud to celebrate our one year anniversary on January 20, 2018. Thank you. We went on hiatus then until April 20. We will be back then with a new look and various other changes. If you need anything in the meantime, please email Anna March, anna@annamarch.com. Thank you for your support!

and when we’re donethey will be stronger than your piercing intrusionswhen we said,screamed,

no.

We are sharpening our bladesand wearing them as glovesso we can slice through red tapeand spear unwanted advances.

We are sharpening our bladesinto precise machines

machines that carve stones into totems,which we carry in our pocketson our way to battleas reminders of life.

Of love.

The blades we have craftedare sharper than the clawson that famed mama bear.

Because this time,

It’s primal.

It’s unrestrained.

We do not,will not,protect only our own cubs.

This time we guardand lift up whole nationsas sisters, daughters, mothers, friends.

As warriors.
You see,this time,

these blades we have crafted,

they are weaving a new flagmade of black, brown, white,and fists held high.

This time,

we control God’s kiss on this earth

and a life freefrom your false forms of protection.

This time,this is the time,

we are unapologetically fierce.
